In the middle of the night, on the street of Shanxian County, the troops were retreating towards the north gate at a very fast speed, and Shen Shaofan stood on the side of the street to direct the troops to march.

"Shaofan! What a beautiful battle! Sun Zhiyu, Zhang Wenshan and others came to Shaofan's side and said with a smile.

Shen Shaofan smiled: "That devil really didn't expect us to take this path, right?" ”

"Haha......" Sun Zhiyu looked at the marching troops and said, "Out of Shan County, we are going to part ways." Shaofan, you must be extra careful, I think the devil will definitely catch up. ”

Shen Shaofan lowered his head and smiled: "Just let the devil chase it!" Now it will take four hours for their nearest troops to reach Shanxian! ”

At this time, Bai Long came over with a team of soldiers from the spy company, and at a glance, he knew that he had just come down from the battlefield, and Bai Long said: "Shaofan, the troops have all withdrawn from Shanxian County." ”

Shen Shaofan looked at the street chief of Xiashan County and breathed a sigh of relief: "This can be described as 'crossing the Guanshan Mountain to look at the bright moon, and the soldiers enter the Qiongling to break the secluded continent'!" Let's go. Ordered the troops to lay mines in the open field outside the north gate to cause trouble for the devils. ”

"Yes!" White Dragon Road.

Shen Shaofan thought for a while and said, "Zhiyu, I want to take the engineer company away, and ask the 4th battalion to enter Kunshan with you." ”

Sun Zhiyu smiled and said, "I have no opinion on you having to take the engineer company, but the 4th battalion must follow you." The devils not only want to destroy our National Youth League, but at the same time, they want to catch you, you have the regiment headquarters and the logistics column, so you have a 5th battalion and a special service battalion; reconnaissance battalions; Once the guard battalion encounters a large army of devils, you will be in trouble. ”

"Isn't there a rifle company and an engineer company! And a cavalry company! Once I can't beat the devil, I won't run! The 4th battalion is the main battalion of our National Youth League, and it may come in handy when it stays with you. Shen Shaofan said with a smile.

"This ......" Before Shaofan could speak, he took the first step and said: "Hey! So it's decided that you will take a telecommunications platoon from the telecommunications department, and we can contact you when you get to Kunshan. ”

"Alright! But you have to be careful. Nayoshino; Murakami; Takagi's three divisions are not vegetarians, you must have a heart! ”

Shen Shaofan smiled and said, "Don't worry! You still can't believe me in the war? He followed the westward march and disappeared into the night.

Blocking the sky and watching Shaofan leave, it was not a taste in his heart, everyone had worked together for many years, and they were brothers of life and death who rolled down on the battlefield together, and this time they were separated from each other, and they were separated by the Yellow River, and I don't know when they will see each other. He sighed: "I don't know when our National Youth League will be able to get together!" ”

Sun Zhiyu smiled and said, "It will be soon." Walk! Let's talk about what we're going to do next. ”

"I think we should immediately go south and enter the Henan territory. ”

"Nope! We first went west to Shunhe Village and then headed south. Sun Zhiyu said: "We want to attract the attention of the devil to us, and then fight an ambush battle in Shunhe to slow down the pursuit of the devil." In this way, we can help Shaofan reduce their pressure, and secondly, we can rub the devil's sharpness so that they can take care of slowing down their march. ”

"Good! No wonder Shaofan has always been a military genius! Just listen to you, and I'll give orders. Tian Fang smiled and caught up with the troops in front.

Sun Zhiyu looked back at Xia Feng; A trace of sadness welled up in Pei Liangxian and couldn't help but shed two tears and said softly: "Crossing the Guanshan Mountain and looking at the bright moon, the soldiers entered the Qiongling and broke the secluded continent." The gold armor is proud, and the bones are buried all the way. He also departed with the troops and disappeared into the rough road.

The bright moon hung in the sky and draped the earth with a white veil, and a group of Japanese soldiers were carrying corpses. A sedan drove to Liu Wanglou, the defensive position of the former National Youth League. Kawagishi Bunzaburo and Takagi Yoshito and the commander of the 14th Division, Doheihara, walked by the corpses of the ** people and looked at the corpses of those Japanese soldiers.

Tu Feiyuan exclaimed: "It was this group of people who pulled the grenade on the position? ”

Yoshito Takagi: "Yes! They were left behind by the Chinese army to protect the retreating wounded of the large force, and when our troops took up their positions, they pulled out whole boxes of grenades. This is the case in several positions of the Shina people. ”

Tu Feiyuan said: "In Nanjing, we fought with Shen Shaofan's troops, and the combat effectiveness was very strong, not the ordinary Chinese troops, many of the Chinese troops saw that the troops of our Great Japanese Imperial Army surrendered as soon as they entered the city, but they would rather die than give in. I admired this spirit, so I ordered my subordinates to bury the bodies of the soldiers of the National Youth League. ”

Kawagishi Fumizaburo said, "Yes! The National Youth League is a strong force, and we must eliminate them as soon as possible, or there will be a second one in China; The third branch of the National Youth League. ”

Yoshito Takagi said on the side: "Your Excellency, I will immediately lead the troops to pursue and suppress the National Youth League. ”

Shen Shaofan led the National Youth League to the east and west of the mountain, although most of Shandong was occupied by the Japanese army, but the Japanese army gathered the main forces to attack the Xuzhou National Youth League, although there was a Japanese army along the way to block, but it was not atmospheric, Shaofan ordered the reconnaissance battalion to be the vanguard, all the way to reconnoiter and kill the enemy, to meet the mountain, open the road to meet the river, build a bridge, and pass through the junction of the devil's big county garrison to Dongmingji.

Dongmingji is quite close to Dongming, Shaofan considered that Dongming has been occupied by the Japanese army, and it is the key point to cross the river, and the troops must be quite tightly armed, so he ordered the troops to camp in Dongmingji first, and then discuss with the officers the next move.

Shen Shaofan said: "Wenshan, you take a guard company to Sanchun Ferry to prepare the boats for the troops to cross the river. ”

"Okay!"

"Remember! We must obtain the consent of the common people before we can requisition ships, and we cannot rob them. After Shen Shaofan told Wenshan a few words, Wenshan hurriedly took people to Jiaoyuan first.

Duan Louyun said on the side: "We are too close to Dongming here. I'll notice when I shoot Dongming's devil. ”

"Not bad!" Shaofan pointed on the map while arranging the stations of each unit: "So the troops should be stationed in Jiaolou separately; Ma Tou and our current Dongming Collection. Lou Yun; Yuan Feng, you are stationed in Jiaolou, Lou Yun, your reconnaissance company must always pay attention to the devils in Dongming County and Heze. Yuan Feng: Your troops want to build a fortification that can be defended by three battalions in Jiaolou, and by the way, there are more earthen stoves, which must be enough for three battalions, and the earthen stoves must be boiled. ”

"Yes!" Duan Louyun and Yuan Feng left together.

"Chen Chen, your logistics column; rifle company; The engineer company was stationed at Matou. Yao Sanlie! Your rifle company must protect the security of the logistics column, especially those female soldiers, and they must not lose any of them. They are all girls, once they fall into the hands of devils, you can imagine the consequences, so if something happens to those female soldiers, I will be the first to cut you. Shen Shaofan looked at Yao Sanlie and said.

"Yes!" Yao Sanlie said. Yao Sanlie was originally a squadron leader of the teaching column, and after the rifle company was rebuilt, he was selected to be the company commander of the rifle company.

"Song Qing, your guard battalion immediately rushed to Jiaoyuan to prevent the devils from seizing Jiaoyuan." Shen Shaofan pointed to the map and said uneasily, Song Qing said uneasily: "Our guard battalion is gone, what about your safety, regiment commander?" ”

"Leave me Dabao's pistol company." Shen Shaofan said.

Song Qingli saluted: "Yes!" ”

Bai Long said on the side: "What about our special agent battalion?" ”

"Even if the troops cross the Yellow River, we are not safe, and your troops have other tasks." He threw the pencil in his hand on the map, let out a long sigh of relief, and stretched.

At the end of the meeting, everyone dispersed.

Shaofan gave an order to the dragon: "Your troops will cross the river in two hours." ”

"How fast?" Bai Long asked in surprise.

Shen Shaofan lowered his head and said, "After you cross the river, occupy Huangling to ensure that our large army crosses the river safely." ”

Bai Long didn't understand: "Isn't there no devil after crossing the Yellow River?" ”

"The place north of Henan is blocked by the Yellow River because of the special geographical environment, although it is the boundary of Henan, and the Henan government cannot control it, but it is also related to Shanxi; Hebei; Shandong wants to receive the warlords, during the scuffle, it has always been a place of military chaos, so north of Henan, once the Yellow River is crossed, the local armed forces are staggered, and there are many dogs, and those bandits see what they rob, we just crossed the Yellow River, once we meet this gang of local snakes, we will suffer. Shen Shaofan and Long walked out of the camp side by side and walked on the road.

Bai Long put on his military hat and saluted, "Okay, lead the troops across the Yellow River immediately." ”

"Remember, when you get there, don't clash with the local anti-Japanese forces, especially the ranks of the National Guerrilla Column and the Eighth Route Army. Unless they jeopardize our team. Shen Shaofan said.

Bai Long smiled: "I understand this! I still understand the united front. Then I'm leaving! ”

"Good!" Shaofan watched the dragon leave.

At that time, the situation on the boundary south of the Yellow River in Henan Province was very complicated, but in the short term, Shangqiu and Kaifeng had not yet fallen, so Takagi Yoshito, who was pursuing the National Youth League, thought that Shen Shaofan's National Youth League would definitely go south and enter Henan first, so he pursued it all the way with the Takagi Division. This was guessed correctly by Takagi Yoshito, although Shen Shaofan was not in the southbound troops, but the troops led by Blocking Tianfang and Sun Zhiyu were indeed the main force of the National Youth League, once this force was hit hard, the National Youth League could also disappear, but then Takagi Yoshito began to enter Sun Zhiyu's trap.

He found that at first, the troops of the National Youth League would spend the night in each village they passed by, bury pots and cook meals, and sometimes buy some daily necessities with the local people, but after arriving in the villages around Cao County, it was obvious that the traces of the troops' march had decreased, especially the number of earthen stoves, and the number of agglomeration had decreased sharply. When he arrived at Shaozhuang, the last stop of Shandong's entry into Henan, Takagi Yoshito was surprised to find that many people in Shaozhuang were selling military uniforms, winter clothes and canned food; Items such as cookies.

A member of the Tall Wood Division, a long-term soldier, often took a landlord from Shaozhuang and asked all the way: "Old man, how can the people here have these things?" ”

"Back to Taijun's words! These are all sold by a group of deserters who came not long ago, and they have changed some coils and a few clothes on the road. ”

"Oh! Have you ever been here? Jiubing often asked, "How many of them are there?" ”

"Many! There were about 10,000 people, but they stayed here overnight and ran away with hundreds of deserters. ”

Jiu Bing Chang hurriedly asked, "Where did the troops go?" ”

"Along the river!"

On the way from Cao County to Shaozhuang, Takagi Yoshito stood on the hillside and looked into the distance and said, "Shunhe? Well! Exactly as I expected. Ordered the troops to quickly open the way to the river. ”

"Hey!"

"Your Excellency! Wouldn't it be too risky for us to rush in? "The right-hand man next to Yoshito Takagi said Setsuro Shimizu.

Yoshito Takagi looked at Setsuro Shimizu and said, "Shimizu-kun! What are you worried about? ”

"Your Excellency! The terrain of the Shunhe River is dangerous, and when entering the Shunhe River, you must take a mountain road called the Snake Belly Valley by the locals, where there are mountain passes and cliffs on both sides, and there is only one road that can be passed, which is a taboo for the soldiers to march. How could Shen Shaofan choose this path? There are many roads to enter Henan, why do they want to take the river? Shimizu Setsuro said.

Yoshito Takagi smiled: "Shen Shaofan is betting with us!" ”
